It would take more than an hour to walk along the stone steps to the top of the mountain, and it would be a non-stop journey.

  This was because the winding stone steps on Huangtuo Mountain were deliberately built to allow tourists to enjoy the scenery on the mountain.

  There was a cable car from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

  Because the martial artist Huang Zun had died on the mountain, some people wanted to go up the mountain to find out what had happened. After the rumors spread, for a while, no one dared to go up the scenic area that was popular.

  Therefore, the cable car was also pointless.

  Fu Tingyu carried Qin Shu on his back without any burden because she was too thin. This also made him feel that she was weak. Not only did he have to urge her to eat more, but he also had to protect her well.

  Because he knew that he was going to climb the mountain today, he did not wear a suit and tie. Instead, he wore very casual clothes, which was rare.

  Qin Shu, holding a sun umbrella with one hand, laid on the man’s back. She tilted her head and looked at the side profile that was close by. His facial features were chiseled and well-defined. There were fine beads of sweat above his narrow brows and eyes.

  For a moment, she felt that this scene was particularly familiar. It was as if she had experienced something similar in the past.

  But in her memory, no one had carried her before.

  This was the first time Fu Tingyu carried her. Although it was an eyesore to the bachelors, it felt good to be carried by a man.

  Along the way, Qin Shu looked at the man’s profile. She even took out her phone and turned on the camera function. She moved the phone’s hand to the front and put both their faces inside.

  Fu Tingyu glanced at the phone in front of him and saw two faces on the screen. They were his and hers.

  Qin Shu took advantage of the moment when the man raised his head and pressed the shutter to take a photo of the two of them.

  Because the man didn’t like taking photos, she was in a hurry to take photos so that he wouldn’t lower his head again.

  She had never seen the man take photos, and there were no photos of him in Bright Garden. She hadn’t even seen him in all the major magazines and news. It was enough to show how much he hated taking photos.

  After Qin Shu finished taking the photo, she hurriedly opened the photo to see the effects. She opened the photo and looked at the two people on it. The man’s face was calm, and the girl’s smile was dazzling.

  The photo was quite good. Because the phone’s capture effect was good, it wasn’t blurry.

  Fu Tingyu saw that the girl was acting like a thief and was taking photos in a hurry. He didn’t even get to smile at the camera before she finished taking the photo.

  When he got back, he would send the photo to his own phone to use as a wallpaper.

  The corners of his lips curled up as he continued walking.

  The six bachelors following behind him inexplicably got another big mouthful of PDA.

  Shi Yan felt that it was necessary for him to find a girlfriend. Staying by Sir’s side every day, he suffered so much PDA that he was almost jaded.

  Ye Luo: “.……”


  The Ye brothers suffered the PDA silently.

  Half an hour later, they reached the top of the mountain

  There was a house on the top of the mountain that was used by tourists to rest.

  It had already been decades. Without anyone cleaning the ground, it had already fallen into ruins, not to mention how thick the dust inside had accumulated.

  The dark brown door was open. Under the wind and the sun, the color had almost faded. The protective paint on it had also been raised and a few pieces had fallen off.

  Qin Shu stood beside Fu Tingyu and scanned her surroundings. The original tourist attraction had become so desolate because of the death of someone.

  Shi Yan walked over at this moment. “Sir, the Ye brothers and I will go in and take a look first.”


  Fu Tingyu said, “There’s no need. Let’s go in together.”


  He tilted his head and glanced at the girl, then held her hand and walked in.

  When they stepped through the door, Fu Tingyu saw that the grass in the courtyard had traces of trampling, which meant that someone had come.

  Qin Shu also saw it. Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to come here, and no one would come here for no reason.

  A possibility suddenly flashed through her mind. Could there be some secret here?

  With confusion, Qin Shu followed behind the man at a leisurely pace.

  When she entered the house, she realized that there were two rows of crisscrossing footprints on the ground, which meant that someone had indeed been here.

  Shi Yan saw the footprints on the ground and looked up at his master. “Sir, someone came before me.”


  Fu Tingyu only glanced at the footprints on the ground. If he guessed correctly, someone had come here yesterday.

  That also meant that the news he received was very likely to be true.

  “You guys search again.”


  “Yes, Sir.”


  Shi Yan and the Ye brothers went in to search together.

  Ye Luo squatted down and letting Boss come out to get some fresh air, she opened the pet cage.

  Boss lazily raised its eyes and looked at Ye Luo, then stretched its back. Only then did it walk out of the cage with graceful steps like a lord coming down from a palanquin.

  Ye Luo: “.……” A cat was putting on airs?

  Qin Shu saw Boss came out, but it did not come to her. It took swift steps and slipped away.

  She was afraid that Boss would get lost again. She gave the man a heads up and chased after it.

  Fu Tingyu watched the girl run out, then looked towards Ye Luo. “Follow her.”


  Ye Luo heard this and immediately stepped out.

  Fu Tingyu swept a glance at the house, then also followed to look for it together.

  –


  –


  Qin Shu followed Boss out and ran all the way to the pavilion on the side of the mountain wall.

  She walked in and saw Boss half squatting its body with its forelimbs stretched out as it was digging for something.

  When she got closer, she found that Boss was taking out a silk handkerchief with blood on it.

  She bent down to pick up the handkerchief. The dried blood on it indicated that the handkerchief had been lying there for hours.

  Its dark green eyes rolling around, Boss looked up at Qin Shu and meowed.

  Qin Shu looked down at Boss. If it wasn’t for him, she probably wouldn’t have found this silk handkerchief. It must have been left behind by someone who had been here before when they were resting. It also meant that the other party’s illness was so serious that he vomited blood.

  She took the silk handkerchief and carried Boss back.

  Ye Luo was less than five meters away. Seeing that she had returned, he followed her in.

  After entering the house, Qin Shu handed the blood-stained silk handkerchief to Fu Tingyu. “This was found in the pavilion by the mountain wall. It must have been left behind by someone who had been here before.”


  Fu Tingyu had just walked out of the room where he was resting. He looked at the silk handkerchief in the girl’s hand and reached out to take it. There was blood on the silvery-white silk handkerchief, which also meant that the other party was seriously ill.

  He remembered what Gu Yan had said last night. The people of the Crimson Sand Organization had captured him to treat someone’s illness.

  Then the people who came here were the people of the Crimson Sand Organization.

  Even if there was anything that could prove Huang Zun’s identity, it had been erased by the people of the Crimson Sand Organization.

  They were too late.

  This time, they returned to the hotel with nothing.

  On the way back, Fu Tingyu was deep in thought. If he had guessed correctly, there were several white skeletons in the room. Their noses and throats were black. They had died of poisoning.

  However, the body of martial warrior Huang Zun wasn’t there.

  It was also possible that it had been taken away by the people of the Crimson Sand Organization.

  Fu Tingyu turned his head to glance at the girl. The girl was playing with her phone with her head lowered. She was enjoying herself.

  He had no intention of telling her about the identity of martial warrior Huang Zun, and the possibility that he was really dead.

  Qin Shu felt his gaze on her from the side. In confusion, she turned her head to look at the man. “What’s wrong?”
